I hear that there's oil draining/dripping out of the car. Ron Main is on the way to help the investigation. The car has a full belly pan so it likely did not drop parts, even if it did hurt the motor that bad.
Kim is ready to run - hoping for a 240. Ah, hope -- hope springs eternal. But Kim is pretty likely to do it this afternoon. Wind is calm, gusting (if that's the word) to up to 2 mph - headwind - at the tower. Here in the pits the balloons are waving in opposite directions, even though they're on a common post. You figure that one out.
Kim, on bike 1379, is rolling and away from the line.
Approaching the two and through it, (heading towards the mountain), past the four, entering the timed stretch.
Engine flattened out just now per the tower. It happened at the 4 3/4. What's "flattened out" mean? Slowing in the mile, entry speed 145 and slowing. Through the six and stopped. Fire dept. on the scene just in case. Report no parts and no fire, so they'll push her bike off to the side.
Ah -- "oit just went from high tune to flat".
Al Lamb is next, to run from mountain to the highway. He's not in position yet - we've got time to wait. Lamb will run, then possibly Knapp, then likely Steve Strupp in one of the Jack Rogers cars. Steve reports at least forty five minutes, maybe more. That'll be in the white '68 Camaro. He's here for test and tune for WF -- pays some kind of fee and runs at lowest priority.
Al Lamb will run next.
